Summary:
The Ashland Elementary district in Montana is home to two small schools - Ashland School, an elementary school, and Ashland 7-8, a middle school. Both schools have consistently low state-wide rankings and poor academic performance, with 0-1 star ratings from SchoolDigger.
Ashland School has just 65 students, 84.62% of whom are Native American, while Ashland 7-8 has 17 students, 82.35% of whom are Native American. Despite the small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 7.5 and 6.8 respectively, the schools are struggling to provide a high-quality education. Both schools have per-student spending that is significantly higher than the state average, raising questions about how the funds are being allocated.
Overall, the data suggests that the Ashland Elementary district is facing significant challenges in supporting its students' academic success. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the low performance and identify strategies to improve outcomes, particularly for the high percentage of Native American students in these schools.
